✨"A Mother's Letter" is a photography series that aims to bring visibility to the experiences of black mothers to build community. Black women in the United States are likely to experience poor maternal health outcomes, including disproportionately high rates of mortality related to pregnancy or childbirth as a result of societal and racial discrimination in health care systems which contributes to barriers to obtaining quality care. The experienced hardships of black mothers have been heightened following the 2022 Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe vs Wade, which restricts the rights of birthing bodies, disproportionately impacting communities of color. A Mother’s Letter showcases the story of Sophia Said, a young black woman's journey with pregnancy as she reflects on her choice to become a mother and the experiences that followed. ✨Read the full story using the link in our bio 📍 #AMother’sLetter #ChuchaStudios Production Company: @chucha.studios Creative Director and Executive Producer: Herrana Addisu @Herranathegreat_ Producer: Sarah Maria @sarahbi247 Photographer: Steven Hawkins @stevenhawkinspolaroids Photographer Assistant: Yussef Almalabeh @imyenfive DP/Second Photographer: Christopher Zapata @christopherzapata_ Set Designs, Graphic, and AD: Nikita Freyermuth @snikka Stylist: Ryan C Gale @ryancgale Wardrobe and Jewelry: @naeemkhannyc jenniferfisher @homebyareeayl @nosesso @brothervellies MUA/Hair: Quran @qur5n Henna: @natybynature Production Assistant/BTS: Mia Aba @miaaba Copy Editor: Mona Gaballa @monagaballa a
